Yes, it does sound like Drupal is too much horsepower for the purpose. I see no reason not to go ahead and use WordPress - there's no particular need to use any plugins at all, especially for a simple site, unless you have a special function in mind that you want to accomplish. And if that's the case, there's a huge community of WP users online (in this forum alone!) who are more than happy to help you walk through the options.

WP is definately an option, I haven't used it as a cms but I have used it for a blog so I am familiar with it. Still lookin for options incase I need an option wordpress or drupal doesnt have, I have more choices for CMSes when I create sites 4 ppl

That was my feeling from the demo, that it is a nice user-friendly interface. But as for using it, I haven't even installed a test version yet.

We currently use Joomla on our main website, but are thinking of switching to another CMS... our main options on the table are Drupal and Modx.. but now were are also looking at Silverstripe. It does many things out of the box that Joomla doesn't (or that you need 3rd party components to accomplish)

Such as Page History (rollbacks), Draft website (so changes don't go live to public), and the ability to link to other pages within the website easily (personally I can't understand why Joomla can't do this yet).

I've had a little play with silverstripe and found it impressive and very easy to use but quite slow, i.e. it seemed unresponsive. There could be other factors here of course. I must say that it was very easy to set up a test installation and well worth a look.

I'm now looking at cmsfromscratch and cushycms (I'm not allowed to give url yet - sorry).

It seems like a never-ending slog to find the right cms. Wordpress does seem to be moving in that direction and it has a certain elegance and many fans.
Good luck.

HTML is just Hot Metal without the vowels.
What this means, nobody knows.
